Healthy Pizza

Yesterday I had a perfect idea...Healthy Pizza! This pizza is dairy free, gluten free, & paleo. You can also create it however you would like by adding your own topping ideas.

Ingredients for pizza dough:

3/4 c Almond flour

1/4 c arrowroot flour

1/8 c cassava flour

1 egg

1/4 c water

2 T coconut oil

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp baking soda

Directions:

Pan fry your toppings to give them flavor. I chose apples and healthy chicken sausage because that is what I had in my fridge. Get creative! You can make whatever kind of pizza you would like.

Next, combine the pizza dough ingredients. This is what mine looked like:

Here is the pizza toppings once they were cooked. I added some pieces of turkey bacon.

I used a 1/3-1/2 container of tomato paste for the pizza sauce. I stay away from those pre-made pizza sauces because they have added ingredients, such as sugar, that I do not want to consume. I love the flavor of tomato paste.

Spread the pizza dough onto a baking sheet or pizza pan. I lined mine with parchment paper for easier clean up. Next, I placed the dough into a preheated oven (400 degrees) for 10-15 minutes or until the crust is fully cooked. Here is what it looked like after baking:

I spread the tomato paste on top of the crust.Then, I added the toppings onto the tomato paste. I think this combination of pizza toppings would be awesome with some onion and avocado!

Lastly, place the pizza in the oven (400 degrees) for 5-10 minutes. Here is the final product:

My pizza made 4 slices.

I think this would make a great appetizer for some holiday parties or relaxing weekend nights. I ate mine while watching Christmas movies last night!
